Topic: Attractions
The Oratorio of San Felipe Neri, one block north of San Francisco, is the favorite of San Miguelenses. Originally founded by a mulatto congregation, the late seventeenth century building was expanded by a larger community who seized the church through legal process, or assimilated the founding mulattos, depending on one's interpretation of events. The baroque stone facade, displaying an Indian influence, was added in the eighteenth century.
